Rebecca doesn’t just sell real estate.
She helps people think clearly, plan wisely, laugh often, and build lives they feel really good living in.
Rebecca is a broker, investor, strategic advisor, and unapologetic “bouncy quirkosaurus”. She brings serious financial brainpower to real estate while keeping things human, curious, and fun. Clients describe her as analytical, warm, and refreshingly real – the kind of person who can build you a smart investment strategy and then recommend a concert, a tide chart, kimchi recipe or a mushroom foraging book in the same breath.
Her real estate journey started early. She bought her first home at 26 and her first investment property at 28 in San Diego. By 30, she had rolled that investment into an apartment building, a rental home, a personal residence renovated down to the studs in Vancouver, WA, and a second home in Jackson Hole, WY. She doesn’t just teach strategy – she’s lived leverage, renovation, cash flow, and long-term planning firsthand.
Rebecca is a fickle nomad, but considers the PacNW to be paradise. She has lived in five states (CA, NV, ID, WA, AK) and Australia. In Sydney, she served as a Senior Strategy Adviser for the State Property Authority of New South Wales, where she helped reposition government-owned real estate to reduce taxpayer burden and create sustainable value. Earlier, she was elected to the Pacific Beach Community Planning Committee, becoming the youngest member at the time and gaining a deep respect for zoning, land use, and thoughtful community design.
She holds an MBA in Finance & Entrepreneurship, a BA in Urban Studies & Planning, and has been licensed in WA and OR since 2004. She advises clients on income optimization, tax efficiency, capital gains strategy, asset preservation, and multi-state portfolio planning, especially between WA and OR. After returning stateside from Oz during the financial crisis, she specialized in foreclosures and short sales throughout the Portland Metro area. Her style is strategic but never stiff – real estate should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
Before real estate, Rebecca worked as a strategy consultant for high-net worth entrepreneurs and legacy companies like Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and Hewlett-Packard. She co-founded and profitably sold a technology-enabled real estate and hospitality marketing company and is a co-author on multiple U.S. patents in wireless technologies. That entrepreneurial, analytical DNA still drives her work—just now applied to properties instead of patents.
Her career is also rooted in advocacy. As a Reinvestment Program Analyst for the City-County Reinvestment Task Force in San Diego, she helped enforce the Community Reinvestment Act and expand capital access in underserved communities, including testifying on Capitol Hill. That work helped drive billions into affordable housing, small business development, and economic opportunity, reinforcing her belief that real estate can be both a wealth-building tool and a force for good.
At 29, Rebecca took a year-long sabbatical that included cycling 1,800 miles through Italy and France (celebrating her 30th birthday in Champagne), running her first marathon in Bordeaux, cycling the northwest tier of Cuba, and working as a “cellar rat” at Cooper Mountain Vineyards. She’s now traveled to over 50 countries and firmly believes life is a sensory experience best lived with curiosity and good, equally-dorky company.
When she’s not working, she embraces her “weirdo hobbies”: competitive sailboat racing, restoring historic wooden yachts, mountaineering and ice climbing, mushroom foraging, fermentation projects, plant-based cooking experiments, gardening, exotic SCUBA diving, competitive sportfishing, and being an unabashed live-music junkie. If there’s a band playing, she’s probably trying to rearrange her schedule.
At her core, Rebecca is accomplished without being flashy, analytical without being intimidating, and deeply approachable.
